Love's Path

Those who do not understand
With hearts in bars and heads in sand
Will tell you Love's means to an end
And that Heart's a fickle friend

"It will lead you," they will say
- with good intentions - "far astray
"To hell and shadows, oft combined
"It's better yet to lean on Mind."

They'll warn you, "tread most cautiously
"And when you love, love logically
"For if you don't, you'll soon regret
"The path you chose - yes every step."

Though their heedings I ignore
Even as they beg, implore,
For me to follow what they do
I've found that something does ring true

Whether peace or hell it's earning
Heart does want for what it's yearning
But when it's Love that leads the way
I've found it never leads astray

No, contrary to belief
It's Love's path that brings relief
And even when dark comes along
It's just the night before the dawn

Yet if you push through to the end
You'll find you have in Heart a friend
So keep the faith, in Love abide
And Happiness won't leave your side

The Girl in the Mirror

About a decade ago, in the throes of a deep depression, I stared out the window of a car.

A single tear rolled down her cheek, and the sight inspired a poem. I found that poem again a few days ago, and my heart ached at the pain the words conveyed. I thought about keeping it, but it was just too sad... So I rewrote it, instead. This is the finished product: I stare at the mirror And look through the glass The woman behind it Stares right back She watches me With knowing eyes And seems know Just what lies Beyond the shadows Of day and night And yet she waits Silently Years ago When smiles were tears And hours were years And hopes were fears I asked myself: What would it be like? The existence seemed grim: To never laugh, Except with them To cry their tears And share their fears ...But also ...

Universal Mirrors

Sometimes a Mirror is all that I see when I'm staring at you and you're looking at me & sometimes I think, why not just let it be? We don't need to force the direction & then there's the words – all the things that I hear The good and the bad, spoken year after year & even my own oft' perpetuate fear Despite all my "best of intentions" My brain runs away from me; scurries on fast & though I can catch it, I know it won't last & soon - oh so soon! - I Know all will be past All the thoughts & the words & inflections But maybe that's best, as I sit down to think No don't think, but feel! Yes, feel it to the brink Feel the whole Universe within a blink As you stare into each new Reflection
